Secvențe din Muzeul Satului. Biseica Turea (1971)

M. Păunescu · 1971

The wooden church of Turea is a valuable monument of religious architecture in the area of Cluj, dating from the middle of the eighteenth century, made on a foundation made of river stone, with walls made of oak beams joined in “ranch tail,” beautifully decorated at the top with consoles in successive retreats. The high roof with a wide eaves has the cover made of oak shingles joined in “nut and feder.” Above the narthex rises the bell tower, whose roof shows four conical towers at the corners. The planimetry of the church, rectangular in shape with a polished polygonal apse, respects the traditional interior division into narthex, with a straight ceiling, nave, with a semi-cylindrical vault, and the altar, vaulted with a semicalot joined with wooden ribs in the torsado. Unfortunately, very few indecipherable traces are preserved from the old painting of the monument. It was rebuilt in the museum in 1952.
